I use went to the Dollar Tree and got new razors, toothbrushes, clippers, and tweezers. It's too inexpensive to risk it.

I was soaking my razor and toothbrush in a few ounces of Clorox for about 1 minute after each use and then thoroughly rinsing them.

Hey Jen,

LOL! No, that's one thing you want to replace. It might work but it could impart a nasty after taste when combined with mint toothpaste!!

Hi Jen,

Yes, that's a very wise step to take. We've discussed it many times here on the forum and you'll find lots of individual stories and examples by using the search function. We recommend placing things like clippers and nail scissors in a bleach and water solution. That does an excellent job of sanitizing them. It's a great idea, and it's always good to bring it back up on the forum for the new members. If you need assistance tracking anything down, let me know, but a quick search of "tooth brushes + nail clippers" should find a bunch of results.

I was reading elsewhere that changing to new tooth brushs and razors and even nail clippers might not be a bad Idea. 

I might just do it anyways. so I don't reinfect myself somehow.

Any thoughts on this?

Jen
